The Hole Digger is shipped from the factory completely
assembled. The transmission is lubricated at the
factory and will not require further servicing prior to the
initial usage. Visually inspect the throttle control,
throttle cable assembly and the carburetor for signs of
damage. Rotate the throttle control to determine that
the carburetor spring allows the throttle lever of the
carburetor to travel from its low speed to high speed
and back position without any restriction and/or
binding.

is found to require retorquing.
Before Starting the Engine
FILLING THE ENGINE CRANKCASE WITH OIL.
Tools Required:
1 each, small, clean funnel with a flexible extension
spout.
Filling the engine crankcase with oil will require a level
working platform of sufficient size and appropriate
height. As an alternative, the transmission driveshaft
can be securely mounted in a suitable bench vice.
1) Wipe any dust or dirt from the crankcase
dipstick/filler plug area. Remove the dipstick/filler plug.
2) Using the funnel, add oil to the engine crankcase.
For proper classifications and/or amount, consult the
material supplied by the engine manufacturer for
specific information.
3) Replace the dipstick/filler plug and tighten. Wipe off
any excess spilled oil. Properly dispose of the spilled
oil.
4) Consult the material supplied by the engine
manufacturer for other service related information
including oil change interval.
Do not operate the Hole Digger unless proper oil
level is maintained. Improper oil level can result in
property damage and/or personal injury. Consult
the material supplied by the engine manufacturer
for information relative to proper maintenance
procedures.
